Separated at birth?

I'll tell you Allegra, if I were 20 years younger I would be over there with you. Why didn't anything this exciting happen when I was younger?
That Assad thinks we may attack him is a sign that diplomacy is working.
The biggest mistake Saddam made was thinking what we'd never actually attack, so we had to do it to prove him wrong. If Assad believe we would attack, he will have to comply with internationals demands to ensure that we won't.
And aren't you a special little piece of work...
Separated at birth?
Hey Junior, what was your first clue.
Does this have anything to do with Don Rumsfeld asking for a sample of your DNA.
Sleep tight Bozo, we are on our way.
Ah, so they are appeasing us and threatening Israel? That is a plausible explanation. A stupid strategy, if that's what they're doing, but plausible.
Maybe not so stupid. The appeasement of us may cause us to pressure Israel not to respond to the terror attack. The goal would be to drive a wedge between us. It will NOT stop us "calling for" the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon, but it may delay our taking military action.
Aw, come on over! We've got guys in their 70s working here.
It's a blast. (Sorry....there I go again.)
It is exciting. Election Day last month was one of the most fascinating experiences I've ever had and I'm so glad I was here for that.
"No, we weren't going to attack. But since you decided to open your pathetic piehole we're going to change our plans and carpetbomb Damascus for a week or two".
And then we're going to Venezuela! And we're going to Cuba! YEAAAAARGH!!!
So many people seem to not be able to understand this.
Our diplomatic efforts with Sadam couldn't succeed, because he never believed we would attack.
Since we have proven that we are willing to go to war if necessisary we have much more credibility in our negotiations now.
Syria has definately started playing nicer recently. A lot of it is just talking nicer and putting on a show of not actively undermining our interests, but it's progress.
ROTFLMAO!!
I smell ozone...
What is this for? The meaning is that all these countries ACCUSE the US of all these forthcoming attacks, yet they never happen.
If US did everything we are accused ... of every other nation would be under US countol.
Please don't accuse someone of being a troll unless you KNOW the facts, fool.
Translated: We are holding up the peace process.
Sounds to me like they are the "lock" not the "key". And you know what you do to unwanted locks...
That pencil necked geek has finally figured something out.
Please see post #34!
You would think people would know statements that are so absurd they are sarcastic. Maybe this will help: IT WAS A SARCASTIC REMARK.
Better?
Assad, following the dems first rule ("divert attention"), clearly said to his staff, "Let's do a couple of dramtic things and try to shift the blame; no one will believe we did such terrible things at such a sensitive time." I also liked the touch of turning Saddam's brother over to the Iraqis. All that proved was that the guy had spent all his cash and was now close to broke.
A word to the wise might be to actually put a (/sarcasm) tag on those sorts of posts until you are better known than 2 weeks on FR.
Apologies if I mis-read. We have a lot of problems with varmints.
Bush is putting the right kind of pressure on Syria fears military action. The only way to get dictators to cooperate is credible threats of to their regimes. But, for some reason Assad thinks that Syria is needed for peace in the region. If I am Bush I'd give him all stick and no carrot.
